HEARTLEss CRUELTY

it is to delude poor sufferer into the belief
tha; some worthless liniment will cure rheu-
matism and neuralgia. Honesty is the best
policy in the manufacture ofproprletary ar
tiCles as in all other matters, and the fact that
the proPrietors of Athlophoros have never
claimed for it even all its merit would war
rant has not little to do with its wonderful
popularity, and the thousands Of grateful
testimonials received by them show that
their policy has been wise as well as right
Experience has amply demonstrated
that mere outward applications are worth
less. The disease has its seat in the blood,
and any remedy to be successful must deal
with the obstructive acid which poisons
and inflames it.
Athlophoros acts on the blood, muscles
and joints directly. Ii takes the poison
out of the blood and carries ii out OF the
system; it invigorates the action Of the
muscles and limbers the stiffness Of the
joints. 1t reaches the liver and kidneys,
cleansing them from irritating substances,
and, if followed up after the rheumatic
conditions cease, it will restore these organs
to regularity and health.

How TO Make Money

Many people who have accumulated

would be grateful to the man who would
tell them how 10 invest il SO that it would
yield sure increase without danger Of
loss 1t is the danger, in fac almost
the certainty of partial if not total loss of
capital that detcrs people from placing
their accumulations in nearly every line
of those enterprises known as speCula>
tive. ITO speculate" is to many only
another name for to gamble There
is, however, one means Of making even q
small capital accumulate and bear fruit,
with no chance of loss. Real estate is q
commodity which has always an intrinsic
v'lue; power Of producing something
which gives it price, an impossibility
of destruction by any misfortune or acci-
dent which gives it stability There
are two ways in which q person
can invest in real estate a small
or large sum: The first by
loaning to others q portion of its
value. giving to them the power of pos
sessing what otherwise they could not,
and taking in return portion of the
product of such property in the form of
interest. To those who are satisfied
with reasonable income from this in
vestment this offers the best and safest
way to solve the problem. The other
way is by buying lands with the expecta>
tion of an increase in the value This
will be-ffected more or less by circum>
stances, but the certainty Of gaining
something, and the possibility of an in
crease far beyond any obtainable rate of
interest. would tempt anyone who would
season his investment with the flavor of
speculation. Would you learn more of
this? Then call on me at nv office in

Our Washington Letter
Prom Our Regular Correspondent.

rom Our Regular correspondent
Washington April IL, 1887.
The work of evangelizing the city OF
Washington has commenced, and from the
outlook will be vigorously prosecuted. The
pastors Of eighteen Protestant churches
have agreed upon systematic union Of
work in every section of the Capital
which certain moralists have essayed to es-
tablish as the most ungodly in the world.
AS Washington is being made better in
other ways. An old law ON the District of
Columbia statute books makes it unlawful
for any person TO keep open any place of
business for the sale of any article of profit
on Sunday, excepting apothecaries, UNDER
takers and BARRIERS The Commissioners
have resurrected this law from its dusty
tomb, and propose TO enforce it. In other
words there will be no cigar stores open
next Sunday, and news stands, ice.cream
saloons, lunch rooms, etc, will also be
closed.
The great social wheels begin on New
Years Day and subside with the advent Of
Lent during that season, with the fashion
able people and official entertainers calls
aud visiting cards Gil up the mornings.
Calls, receptions and visiting cards crowd
the afternoons. Call. receptions and visit
ing cards jam the evenings and nights un-
ill next morning every day.
Il every day were a week long aud every
week a month long there would still not be
time enough for all the calls, receptions
visiting cards, breakfasts, luncheons, din
ners aud teas, which constitute the occupa-
tion Of certain element Of society here.
But amid this social maelstrom, one meet
more famous men aud women, statesmen,
orators, soldiers aud scholars, more PEG pie
worth knowing and remembering, than In
any other city Of America, or in all It's
cities combined.

that thrilled thousands with delight al its

notice or comment, though fully expect
ed that due notice and fitting recognition
would be made.

Northern Virginia.
"Tempoa nputautua, ct nos nautan-
otn IN dlhs.'
The spirit of that event is with me
and must recall the scenes that broke out
so spontaneously on the hill tops and in
valleys at Appomattox, at the magic word
/ surrender"
The salvos of artillery, the long and glad
huzzas with blue caps that went forth in the
air on that eventful day, should be taken
up to-day with the same gladness of heart
that prompted such scenes as are alone the
embodiment of peace. But the blue
and the gray are interviewer SO
deity by the hand of time that see them
only as the background of peace, bring out
effect each line that traces its meaning.
New England is generous to our soldiers
past and present. and just why she failed to
make fitting observance of the event,so
minently important to her as particular
people, to an event for which we rejoice in
perpetuating, is not to me quite clear, un.
less it be in these lines quoted above.
1t is difficult for Maryland soldier to

nertain and somewhat peculiar position Of

We are all proud of the achievements o

and with just pride we linger in memoir!
over scenes and events which alone are
known to those who participated in marche
and battles where many Of our comrades
laid down their precious lives that peace
